Why You’ll Love This Crochet Tee
If you were convinced yarn-made tops are not your thing, this tee project will surely change your mind!
It features a gorgeous design where dense texture alternates with lacy stitches. This results in a very light and breathable fabric, making it the perfect wear even for the hot sunny months. Thanks to its simple, short-sleeve cut, you can style it easily with both jeans and maxi skirts.
Can I Crochet This Top as a Beginner?
The Alfresco Top crochet pattern is very easy to tackle and will be great for first-time garment makers! It doesn’t require a lot of experience to be able to make it. All need to do is crochet two rectangular panels using double crochet and half double crochet. Prepare also for a little counting and sewing, but nothing that goes beyond a beginner’s skills.
What You’ll Need Before You Start
Work this crochet top using lightweight yarn in a delicate pastel pink or go for any other color of your choice.
Jess Coppom recommends using Lion Brand Beautiful You and a 3.75 mm to achieve the right gauge. Depending on your body size, you will require from 3 to 7 skeins to complete this top.
Is the Alfresco Top Pattern Size-Inclusive?
Yes, it is! The designer provides instructions for XS-5X women’s sizes because every lady deserves a perfect fit. The number of stitches corresponding to each size is given in the brackets. Here is a great tip – highlight the instructions that apply to your size before you start, so you don’t mix up the stitch counts.
